Yes, Fillmore is not the same company that made the Excellent. Fillmore makes Ed
Roman's Mosrites. www.tymguitars.com has more details for those who wanna
know.

Then what is the deal with The Hypnotic IV's Mosrites? They are endorsed
by a Japanese company called Fillmore that makes "Mosrite of California"
guitars. Man this Mosrite stuff gives me a headache. I understand
Fillmore is different company altogether than the ones who made the
"Excellent" models. Is that right?
At last April's Sacramento Surf Coasters show I got a good close up look
at Hypno Andy's Fillmore Mosrite. It looked really nice. Shigeo really
was digging it too as he played it during the jam session and was asking
Andy lots of questions about it.

put the nix on it. I have one of the '80's models but the logo was put on in
later years. I don't know how myrareguitars is getting away with the sale of
gray market Ventures models. The Ventures were successful in stopping the
practice in Japan.
